a Journey to Yourself Through Space & Time
Let me introduce myself
My name is Anna and my name sounds similar to one of the highest mountain ranges
in the Himalayas - Annapurna.
I am the creator and coordinator of unique tours to Nepal.
My programs are the result of 15 years of work in the hotel industry, reservation, tours planning and logistics for companies' clients, hotel guests, friends and myself;
it is the result of 30 years of travel experience, my own knowledge and ideas.
I had wonderful teachers and I am still inspired by their concepts and experience.
I am a philologist and international economist by education.
My profession coincides with one of my favorite hobbies: my life is unthinkable without journeys.
I have visited about 25 countries of the world (to some of which I have returned many times!).
I speak Russian, English, French, I can understand Italian and I am learning Nepali.
Why Nepal?
Of all the countries I have visited, Nepal struck me the most.
This country will not leave indifferent anyone who comes there: lovers of exotic and oriental cultures, people who want to try themselves at mountain trekking in the Himalayas, or those who love a calm and even meditative leisure - everyone will find something for themselves
and something special in Nepal.
And, I hope, they will fall in love with this country as much as I have.
The main idea of my tours is not just to show the highest mountain ranges on the planet
and to climb a few peaks, but to discover something new for yourself
and, most importantly, in yourself.
And perhaps (who knows?) to re-frame and re-think your life completely.
My motto is: "Exploring the World you can learn more about yourself"
Our Team
My friends from Russia, Nepal and France - caring, cordial and very responsible people
who cannot imagine their lives without travelling - help me achieve my goals.
We are all a well-coordinated team of hoteliers, interpreters, psychologists,
yoga teachers and mountain guides.
Each of us is a professional in his or her field of activity.
We are also united by our love for trekking, mountains and Nepal,
its culture, its history and its people!
We put our soul into each tour and believe that a journey with us to this incredible country
will turn your idea of life upside down, allow you to reach a new level of perception
of yourself and others, which means that together with you we will make
our World a little kinder and more joyful.

However, it is best to look through this section to avoid any surprises in Nepal.
It is a completely different story when you are planning a serious multi-day mountain trek.
Not only need you to read all the information, but also to take it as a guideline.
Before the tour, we will hold an online meeting where we will go over the program in detail
and explain how to prepare for it.
Please do not hesitate to ask your tour leader any questions you may have.
There are three ways to inform about your desire to join the trip:
-Write a message in WhatsApp messenger to number +7(911)151-09-07
-Send an email to lungtayatra@bk.ru
-Fill out and send us the form on the web site page here.
Please specify:
- Your First and Last Name
- Your contact number
- The name of the tour you wish to book
- Number of people
With this information we will book you a place on the tour. Afterwards you will need to make a deposit – usually 30% of the total cost of the tour. The cost of the tour on the website is indicated in US dollars.
The cost of air tickets may be added to the deposit amount if you wish to book flights through us (they must be paid in full at the moment of purchase).
If for any reason you decide to cancel your trip at least 45 days before the start of the tour, we will refund your deposit in full.
If you cancel less than 45 days before the start of the programme, the deposit will not be refunded.
If the tour did not take place due to our fault, we will refund your deposit in full, even if it happened less than 45 days before the start of the programme.
The full payment for the tour (the remaining 70% of the cost) must be made no later than 21 days before the start of the programme.
If you have made the full payment earlier, but for some reason you have to cancel the programme less than 30 days before the trip, we will refund your payment minus the deposit and the actual costs incurred by us.
We can recommend you most covenient flights to reach Nepal from your country. We can consult you on the pros and cons of the various flights and can find the best option for you in terms of price / flight duration / connections / comfort (selection of air tickets is free of charge).
After consulting with us for the best flight to match the tour, you may buy air tickets on your own.
Please check the recommended flights and make sure you buy tickets for the right dates and flights.
We are not responsible for the airline tickets you have bought yourself and any mistakes you may have made when buying them.
This is possible, but please consult with us before purchasing the tickets to be 100% sure that you will arrive on time for the start of the tour programme and will not miss anything.
If you have bought the tickets yourself and have not informed us beforehand, we will not be responsible for your additional costs associated with the need to catch up with the group on your own.
Please note that the programme price includes group transfer from the airport. If you are not on it, you will pay for the taxi from the airport yourself. If necessary, we can organise your airport pick-up and individual transfer (for an extra fee).
This is the number of people in the group at which the price is guaranteed (e.g. 8 people) and the tour will take place.
If there are more people (e.g. 10 or 12), the total price will be recalculated (usually downwards).
What if the group does not fill up?
If the group does not fill up for the dates, we can offer to cancel the programme, or to run it with fewer participants, or to make you an individual tour. In the latter case, the cost of the programme or the range of services included in the price may change. But we will discuss and agree all this with you in advance.
A health insurance policy is required to travel to Nepal (and other countries).
You can choose the insurance company yourself or consult us beforehand.
If you are going on a tour that involves trekking in the mountains, a regular travel insurance will not be enough - you will need one depending on the complexity and type of the tour programme, for example:
- an extended insurance policy
- an adventure sports insurance policy
- an insurance policy for trekking to the altitudes over 3500 metres.
We will recommend the best insurance options in the relevant section of our website - see the Health Insurance section.
If you are on the same flight with the tour leader, the issue is solved by itself: you arrive together at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, go through all the formalities, exit the airport, meet your driver and get to your hotel.
If you arrive with a separate flight, the tour leader along with the driver will meet you at Kathmandu airport.
You get more detailed instructions after booking the tour.
In any case, about a week before departure the tour leader contacts you again and sends you all the detailed information about the country, arrival details and tour programme.
In addition, the tour leader and tour organiser will always be in touch with you (within working hours) and will answer all your questions.
Contact information can be found in the "Contacts" section of the website.
